Personally, I am really happy to see the following items landing in Rails 8:

- Solid Queue & Cache by default (no need for Redis)

- Propshaft as default asset pipeline (retiring Sprockets)

- Basic auth generator (will Devise still be useful for new apps?)

- Kamal by default for new applications

Simplifying Web Development and even more sane defaults in Rails makes me really happy!

I am no longer a Rails user, but Rails was the reason I switched to a Mac and abandoned .NET and Windows completely. Those demos using TextMate were sweet.

wow, i remember when it was 2.4
